Bought both the black and white versions to try out. I ended up keeping the white PS version because the face buttons felt better. Glossy face buttons gave me a familiar controller feel. The black versions face buttons are matte but feel a little scratchy/chalky. That being said I was really just splitting hairs at that point. Either version is great.

Glad you jumped on board, it all comes down to preference at the end of the day. Hope you enjoy it man!

You don't need a CAT8 cable. Your experience will be bottlenecked by the quality of the wifi connection from your phone to your router/access point. The PS5 has a gigabit ethernet port which you can max out on much cheaper CAT5e.

@MelvinGundlach 11 күн бұрын

Since CAT.8 cables are as cheap as earlier generations at this point, it doesn't really matter.

I have a ROG 6 Pro. its 173mm in hight. will it fit into the slot? (assuming it doesn't matter its an android or apple since now its type c) I don't mind it being off centre since the type c in Rog is at the side. My current kishi V2 fits leaving about a millimetre or less space when fully stretched. But its not forced.

How do you see the small text in the games if you're playing a ps game. I just bought a backbone but can not read the small text that is native to the ps5

@bhoqeem1975 5 ай бұрын

That's because of the phone screen size. Get the largest type c mid-range phone you can find. The closest to 7", the better. Or you can try playing with a tablet. That's even better, despite being off the hook.

@romiem 2 ай бұрын

Thanks for the review! Does the bezel around the camera bump on thicker cases cause the phone to be placed at an angle/tilt on the usbc port? Or is there still a bit of daylight clearance between the bump and the horizontal bar of the backbone? That’s my only worry as I don’t want to damage the port on my phone!

@NomadFlair 2 ай бұрын

Which phone do you have? should be ok - best to check the measurements for compatible phones on the site.

@romiem 2 ай бұрын

@@NomadFlair iPhone 15 Pro (with case). Any idea how much clearance there is between the frame of the backbone and camera bezel of an average sized case you might have lying around? If the phone is seated at a slight angle because of the bump, I’d be slightly worried about whether that might stress damage the usbc port on the iPhone over time.

Ensure it's enabled through the PS5 first. Then re-connect. Normally the onscreen controls will disappear b themselves. Also have your bluetooth enabled.

@NomadFlair 5 ай бұрын

@FillVinf06 5 ай бұрын

This guy is right, the official website says otherwise. I think Android users can't use the PS remote play app paired with an android/standard backbone gen 2. In the video we see him using remote play on an iPhone 15, maybe that's why. given the fact that the Playstation Portal just went out, maybe Sony just made sure that the backbone doesn't steal the market of the PS Portal, maybe a future update will make it possible, but for now, if you're an android user, you must get the Playstation version to be able to use the PS remote play

@NomadFlair Yep. But the quality REALLY SERIOUSLY DEPENDS on the networks you are using. That's the only downside of Backbone AND Playstation Portal. But at least Backbone is decent enough not to overprice their device--especially with that caveat. They are hoping you'd subscribe to their service, though.
